Was that just an example of what this kid can do with the right coaching and talent around him. I don't know what caused his drop off after that season, but didn't he have Lazor as his OC that year.
No. Lazor was only OC in Miami and Cincy. He was Foles' QB coach when he had that big season, then Lazor moved on to Miami the following year...getting hired as OC primarily due to the success of Foles (Miami was trying to develop Ryan Tannehill).

Foles was 24 when he had the season TKUHL is referring to.

Good grief, I don't think he could've handled that situation any worse. And it was the first thing that came to mind with Marvin's recent handling of our WR selections.
Fisher wanted an old school, game managing QB who could throw medium passes, hand the ball off to a back and get teams to bite on play action. No scrambling, no big bombs, no extending the play. Hand it off or make a safe throw.
I think Marvin does the same but with receivers. Or maybe it's just the way we've coached them the entire time he's been here that's led to many of them having similar problems.

I was a baby in 1981 and 7 years old in 1988, so it doesn't sting much for me. The only things I remember about SB XXIII are my Dad saying Krumrie broke his leg, the SB sweatshirt my Mom got me, and "welcome to the jungle" being played literally everywhere (even the grocery store). I felt the excitement, but didn't care much for football at the time. Ninja Turtles and Mario Bros were more my things.
Seriously though, I remember just enough of that SB excitement to wish it'd happen again. Everyone loved the Bengals that year.
As for Joe, when I first got into football, I loved watching him play for KC. His duel with Elway on MNF is still the most entertaining game I've seen.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
